Read the same article, then Google and Youtubed it to death. Looks less of a pimp mobile than the current model. Loaded with gear inside and out, mother of all factory audio systems, reasonable interior for a **** mobile, 6.4L of Dinosaur push rod V8, crap 5spd auto

I want one ! (next year when it gets the 8 spd tranny). White with black wheels !

Strong Oz dollar rocks ! $65K would be a bargain, esp' compared against a HSV, (FPV are further advanced with the s/c V8's )

Why is "S e p o" edited out ?

Mother of the man upstairs!

65k for 6.4 Litre beast! Thats retail GS money....

If chrysler have sorted the driving dynamics, its going to make the SRT a seriously good proposition.

I'll have to look into it in a couple of years.

Haha! Hubby and i were laughing about it before too and saying a similar thing, no wonder its only 65K... its the only way they could get someone to buy one. Aweful plain design, reminds me of a 90's S class, it wont matter how well it will go, it will most likely be as popular as the first series.

First one is pretty common up here so id hardly call it a failure..

Id buy this over the insane clown faced HSV no worries. I like that its plain and has an air of 'sleeper' about it.
Each to their own i guess.

It might look plain but I reckon that car is more about proportions and stance.
Seems cheap compared to ours.

If you prefer plain then what about a GT-E then? Barely see any 300c's in victoria let alone SRT's, didnt they sell less than 100 SRT's here?

The exclusivity makes it better.
I would hate owning a Holden SS and seeing one every 100m exactly the same or a hsv and seeing one every 1000m.

My driveway. I love it.

$65k is going to be very appealing to anyone looking at HSV/FPV, I know I would probably lean towards one of these over a GT.

It's a very tempting deal indeed. For me, the deal breaker is the lack of a manual.

I have been tossing up for a few months over this, a HSV and a GT. If it had a man type transmission it would be a no brainer.

WELL we all know were their customers will come from to buy this beast......ford......and ill garuntee that because we see in nearly evevry ford in aus....it doesnt matter how good the fords are, it is the holden and the brand loyalists who continue to hand over doe for holdens no matter how bad they are. A perfect example is the crappy old colorado outsold the world conquering new ranger this month....i mean seriously...if your buying a 4x4...how can there be sooo many people who want the absolute bottom of the barrel. i mean even mag comparos dont bother ading the colorado to the line up.......but the old holden faithfull......bunch of blind sheep

If i were in the market for one i'd be waiting for the 8spd auto.
Other than that for 65K it is feature packed on paper looks ubeatable for the $$.

When the first model came out, i was of the opinion that if i was in the market for a large 4 door sedan or wagon this would be the one....

I still have that same opinion with the new one.....

Go and get a price for a GT-E and compare the 2.
I see just as many SRT's up here as I see new GT's
